A Welcome Message From Fr. Robert

Glory to God – you found us, may you find Him!

Welcome to our St. Nicholas Church website.

We hope that it gives you a glimpse of our communal life as an Orthodox parish and leads you to thoughtful reflection and thanksgiving to God – for all that you are and all He calls you to be. This is the essence of Orthodoxy-(ortho – meaning right or correct and doxa – meaning worship) – to live in relationship with Him and render unto Him the glory, thanksgiving and worship that is due – to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

There is so much that we would like to share with you about that which we have received. Perhaps we can do so, by the pages of this website, through an email exchange, a phone conversation, letter or personal visit. We are here to share our spiritual treasure with you, so, we welcome your requests for prayers for your loved ones – those living and those who have died. Feel free to email your questions about Orthodox beliefs and practices, the Orthodox Church history, or any other matters of interest.

The very best that we can share with you, of course, we must share in person – the very living presence of God Himself, as He shares His life with us through the sacred Mysteries (sacraments) of the Church. Please listen to His inner call within your heart – and commune with Him by faith, in His Church and in the heavenly liturgy.

We stand ready to assist you as best we can.

May God be with you,
  Rev. Fr, Robert Holet
